The concubine is soft and delicate, making her the treacherous minister's white moonlight

Chapter 185: Trouble at Yuxianglou

"Sir? Excuse me."

Lin Mowan reminded him softly, and the other party seemed to come to her senses suddenly, apologizing a little at a loss, and stepped aside: "I'm sorry, girl."

He quickly lowered his eyes and scratched his head in embarrassment. When he saw Lin Mowan walking away, he hurriedly trotted to the man who had just sat on the other side of the screen behind Lin Mowan and said in a low voice, "Dad, I just saw a girl who looked like the person in the portrait you hung in the study."

The other party didn't say anything, just calmly drank his tea and looked at him with an idiot look. He emphasized anxiously: "Really, Dad, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, go and see. She must not have gone far now."

As he spoke, he was about to go forward and pull the man up, but the man just pushed his hand away impatiently and said, "If you have the time to spare, why don't you rush to prepare the meal? We still have important things to do after dinner."

The young man felt helpless. He turned around and looked downstairs, but he didn't see the figure anymore. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head suspiciously. He began to feel uncertain and returned to his seat in embarrassment.

At this time, Lin Mowan and Yuzhi had already left the restaurant. Obviously, Yuzhi noticed the two people just now. She was a little worried that what happened today would be told by the people just now. So, on the way back, she asked Lin Mowan tentatively: "Miss, do you want me to check on those two people?"

Although Lin Mowan has always believed that less trouble is better, there are some things that need to be clarified in order to feel a little safe. If this matter is exposed, it will not be good for her.

After a brief moment of thought, she nodded. Yuzhi understood and disappeared to give orders to the secret guards in the dark.

After returning from the restaurant, Lin Mowan did not go back to Zither Garden, but went to Yuxiang Tower. It was still early and Yuxiang Tower had not yet opened for business. The girls were practicing dancing or resting, and it was very quiet upstairs and downstairs.

Lin Mowan sat by the window upstairs, looking at the sky outside through the window. Liu Yinghong pushed the door open and came in. The fluffy red shawl around her waist and back made her figure more graceful.

She walked over to Lin Mowan and sat down. She glanced at the steaming tea on the table that Lin Mowan hadn't drunk yet, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, but just withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and sighed softly.

Seeing this, Liu Yinghong gradually put away the playful smile on her face. Although she didn't know what it was, based on her understanding of Lin Mowan, she rarely saw her like this.

After a long time, Lin Mowan sighed again and said, "It's nothing serious..." Maybe she was being pretentious.

Seeing this, Liu Yinghong did not ask any more questions, but just said: "I'm glad you're okay. If you really don't want to go back, just stay here for one night and leave when you want."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up and said, "I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite food. It's just right for us to have a drink tonight."

She twisted her waist and went out. Lin Mowan glanced at the door that opened and closed, then silently withdrew her gaze, leaned back on the armchair, and gently closed her eyes. She wanted to take a nap, but she seemed to have no sleepiness. What happened in these days kept flashing through her mind.

Unconsciously, she couldn't seem to tell whether she was asleep or not. When she woke up, it was already dark outside and the lanterns on both sides of the street were lit.

The dim lights illuminated the blue bricks and tiles, and the streets were still bustling with people. Yuxianglou was almost open for business. After having dinner with Liu Yinghong, the downstairs gradually became noisy. Generally speaking, the girls did not need Liu Yinghong when they were receiving guests. She stayed in the house to accompany Lin Mowan for tea.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The voice sounded hurried. The girl outside pushed the door open after hearing the response. The moment she pushed the door open, the noise from downstairs, which was different from usual, came in with her.

She hurried in and said, "Aunt, please go and take a look. Something happened outside."

Liu Yinghong frowned, put down the teacup in her hand, and asked, "What's going on?" She had already stood up and walked out the door.

Lin Mowan was suspicious. Although Liu Yinghong had repeatedly emphasized that she should not get involved in the affairs of Yuxiang Tower, she was still curious. She also stood up and went out, standing at the railing and looking down.

On the wide stage on the first floor, a group of girls were protecting another girl, and on the other side another group of girls were pulling a fat and big-eared man. The scene was a little chaotic for a while, and Liu Yinghong had already reached the corner of the second floor.

She giggled and said in a charming voice, "Oh! Who did I think it belonged to? It turned out to be Mr. Jin who only comes once in eight hundred years."

Everyone looked up when they heard the voice. Liu Yinghong was smiling sweetly, as if she was completely oblivious to what was happening. She walked slowly over. The crowd watching the excitement from the outside and the girls from Yuxiang Tower automatically made way for her.

She walked to the center of the stage and calmly ordered someone to take the girl away. The man called Mr. Jin snorted and pushed away the guards and the girl who were controlling him.

He looked furious, with his head raised and his hands behind his back, almost looking at people with his chin. Liu Yinghong smiled along, glanced at the girl next to him, and asked, "What's going on?"

The girl also looked embarrassed, but hurried forward to explain: "Yuxiu is a prostitute, she sells her art but not her body. Jin Yuanwai insisted that Yuxiu accompany him, and Yuxiu refused, so Jin Yuanwai used force."

The girl was so scared that she started to cry. Mr. Jin snorted again and said sternly, "Why are you pretending? Who is clean here? You just think I don't give you enough. I have plenty of money! Tell her to come out. I want her to accompany me tonight!"

The girl hid behind Liu Yinghong in fear, looking alert and afraid. She turned around and looked at Liu Yinghong for help.

Liu Yinghong still smiled sweetly, but the cold light in her eyes could not be hidden at all. She stepped forward slightly and glanced at everyone, "Alright, alright, stop looking, and go away."

When everyone heard this, the people around looked on and left with their girls in their arms. After a moment, the surroundings returned to their original decadence and extravagance. Only the stage, which should have been full of singing and dancing, became so silent that it was a bit suffocating.

Liu Yinghong waved her hand, signaling the girls around her to leave. The girls were eager to throw this hot potato away. For a moment, only Jin Qiu and Liu Yinghong were left on the stage.

Jin Qiu obviously didn't want to give up. Liu Yinghong smiled, charming but not humble. She gently placed her slender white hand on his shoulder, "Why is Mr. Jin so angry today? That girl is new here and doesn't know the rules. Let's go inside and talk?"

As she spoke, half of her body weight almost pressed on him, her eyes were as seductive as silk, her fragrance was as soft as jade, and she was like dry wood and raging fire. The anger in Jin Qiu's eyes was instantly extinguished. He turned his head with a lustful look to glance at Liu Yinghong, and raised his dirty hands to try to grab her waist.

However, Liu Yinghong twisted her body and cleverly avoided his hand. She took advantage of his distraction to move to the other side and playfully patted his shoulder. Jin Qiu turned around and saw Liu Yinghong's graceful figure walking down the stage.
